Based off the all-new 2016 MX-5 Miata, two new roadster concepts are taking center stage at the Specialty Equipment Market Association show in Las Vegas. The MX-5 Spyder and Speedster roadsters feature a different take on the fourth-gen model.

The MX-5 Spyder takes cues from classic roadsters and features a design meant to accentuate what it means to have an open-air experience. Powered by a Skyactiv 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with variable valve timing, the Spyder concept sits on custom Yokohama ADVAN Racing RS II 17×8 wheels and has front Brembo four-piston calipers with vented rotors. The concept weighs in at 2,301 pounds, making it a bit lighter than the traditional 2016 Mazda Miata that weighs as little as 2,332 pounds. The model has been painted in a Mercury Silver finish, while the interior has been outfitted in Spinneybeck “PRIMA” natural leather.

For the MX-5 Speedster, Mazda went back to its roots and cut weight even further. In place of a standard windshield, the concept features a wind deflector, helping the model weigh just 2,080 pounds. That’s over 250 pounds lighter than the standard Miata. Power comes from the same engine and front Brembo brakes as the Spyder, but the Speedster features custom RAYS 57 extreme Gram Lights 16×6 wheels. The exterior displays a striking Blue Ether color, while the interior benefits from lightweight carbon fiber seats with black Alcantara trim.

“Both MX-5 Spyder and MX-5 Speedster are uncompromising designs that highlight the core strengths of MX-5,” said Ken Saward, design manager for Mazda North American Operations, in a statement. “The all-new 2016 MX-5 served as a blank canvas for our design team to create some truly one-of-a-kind cars, yet our SEMA concepts remain true to more than 25 years of MX-5 heritage.”

The Miata concepts are now on display at the SEMA show, which starts today.
